Accounting Overview
This chapter provides an introduction to the principles of accounting and, as such, serves as a prerequisite for most of the remainder of the book and for many of the technical questions that one is likely to encounter in the investment banking interview process. It presents a brief overview of the different types of accounting and some important general accounting principles. The chapter reviews a discussion of the three financial statements: the income statement, the balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows. For each of the three statements, it discusses the most important line items and principles relevant to an investment banker. The final section of the chapter highlights how the three financial statements are integrated and includes a number of numerical examples to help demonstrate these interactions.

Financial Modeling
This chapter focuses on Financial Modeling. Financial modeling is, along with valuation, one of the two core technical skills required of junior investment bankers. The core modeling skill required of investment bankers is to be able to create a forecast of a company's three financial statements: income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. This type of model is known as an integrated cash flow model and is the subject of the chapter. Models are built by analysts or associates when advising on buy‐side and sell‐side M&A transactions, Leveraged Buyouts (LBOs), issuance of new equity or debt, and restructurings. In addition, financial modeling is a key skill for many other roles within corporate finance, including equity research, private equity, asset management, hedge funds, and corporate development. The purpose of the chapter is to introduce one to basic modeling skills so that one can begin to build one's own financial models and is able to intelligently talk about building models in an interview.

Recruiting, Interviewing, and Landing the Job
This chapter explores the concepts of recruiting and interviewing. The recruiting process for most investment banks, including all of the bulge bracket banks and most of the larger boutiques, is highly formalized. The most important part of the recruiting process is the interviews. Nearly all interview questions can be segregated into two types. The first type is what is called fit questions or qualitative questions. The second type is technical questions. The chapter provides a discussion of what investment banks are looking for when hiring the two most junior‐level positions, analysts and associates. It discusses the recruiting process, including networking and informational interviews. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how to choose among multiple offers and how to start one's career as a great junior investment banker.
